I have a Bosch, an older one, and it does not sense incoming or outgoing water temperature.

I have checked out quite a few less expensive Chinese units, and virtually none of them sensed incoming or out going temperatures.

I know that there are models made by various manufacturers, that are meant for solar applications. There are also models that are meant for hydronic water heating applications. I do not know if units meant for hydronics will also work for solar applications.

When I bought my tankless unit, Bosch made models that would sense incoming water temp, and others that did not...

It is in your interest to find out about the exact model you are interested in, and not hope that it might possibly work the way you want it to.

It is your money, after all.
